Bill Clinton's favorable policies toward black Americas only looks lame from present [post-Obama] perspective. Prior to 1992, I suspect the treatment of black Americans by the White House was routinely so bad that 'somewhat less bad' would be a major improvement. Bill Clinton changed that dynamic around. And they actually did call him the 'first black President' back in the 1990's because of his position with respect to the black community.

Yes, I know. But we do have the benefit of retrospect.

Anyway, meant Hillary.

This estimate from the Brennan Center and the Cato Institute might sound like a wild exaggeration, but the article explains how they do the math.

With all due respect, it has long been known that about 1/3 of the US defense spending is hidden outside the defense budget. And the US has the highest defense spending per capita - based on only the official figures which are only a fraction of the total US defense spending.
